Hi,
Im running CM11 nightly (Android 4.4.4) on Moto G XT1032 which has circa 900MB or RAM. A friend of mine has another phone (Evolveo Strongphone D2 with stock ROM, Android 4.2). Im using about 112 widgets, my friend only uses about 5 or so.
What Im curious is - is there any way (apart from messing with his phone which none of us want to) to check if the lower RAM would be able to hold all my widgets etc. please?
My friend is satisfied with the phones RAM, having about 100MB free usually.
PS: Reason to consider his phone is that its a rugged and waterproof device with 4500mAh battery.
Hello,
So i got myself an Edge with 3GB of RAM, since i have been using another SO for a while now i'm not updated on android systems anymore so please help me out if you can.
After boot, installing the basics (FB, Flipboard etc. etc.) and setting up everything i only have about 700MB available, so where is the rest??
Before you all start saying that i installed too much trash, have too much bloatware etc. etc. let me inform you that:
1- I have a J5 (single SIM) with 1.5GB of RAM with the EXACT same setup as this one, the diference is the loss off about 1.5 to 2 GB of RAM since i have the same amount of RAM available on my J5.
2- I disabled the apps i don't use so they are "offline" and shouldn't interfere with the count.
So same setup with a weaker phone....... and almost the same RAM available....
The only diference between my edge and the J5 is that i have a smartwatch paired to it, but after the test with the J5 (yes it will accept my smartwatch) there is no diference in RAM on my J5......
Please help me to understand this before i take it back to the shop.......

You do know how android works right? I have a edge+ with 4gb of ram and at this moment I have 711mb free and guess what it's smooth and fast because having a lot of ram without the system use its not how android works

So what you are telling me is that besides the almost 400MB reserved, the same apps, same version of OS and the same usage i will have always this amount of RAM occupied??
Ok, now i will bring this back to the store and get myself a cheap 2GB RAM phone...... No point of having a device that is always cramped up without the possibility of expanding. I do a lot of multitasking (as soon as the holidays are over) and i thought that this would be a device that can "handle" it. I have seen the batt. problems and tried to read about the RAM management that should be solved with the marshmellow update ..... I think that this device is going to be a problem for me to use.......
I had a Galaxy note (1) before and the only reason i sold it was because of the "always ocupied RAM" and it was a PIA with multitasking. Have used a diferent OS ever since but loved the edge so decided to give it another shot, wrong idea.
For me if a device lasts all day (18H) and can handle multitasking i'm happy......

In my opinion you did. Download app on play store called Mr phone. It compares phones you wanna compare against eachother. LG g5 seemed slightly better in a lot of the categories.
In regards to your ram question. Do you have same apps as you did on the honor? With all my apps, and I have a lot running. I get about 2-2 1/2 gigs of ram on average. Someone with stock no apps could give you a better answer.
Note I am rooted and uninstall a lot of bloatware. Also use greenify and other battery saving apps.

Hey all!
I'm very curious. My Honor 5X is unbelievably slow (read: laggy) despite having 2 gigs of RAM and the Snapdragon 616 - which is an octacore chip for God's sake.
I can't even explain how terrible the experience is. Sometimes I can't even pick up calls. Opening system apps like Dialer, contacts etc takes 6-8 seconds - YES, SECONDS - on average. This has been since Day 1.
I attributed the lag to buggy software (Huawei's official ROM) and switched to Lineage OS 14.1 but damn there has been absolutely no improvement.
Many people suggested clearing the cache, removing unused apps (the age old advice for android users) when the phone gets slow but I don't have more than 25 apps (which is restraint on my part), I make sure there's no clutter, wipe the caches regularly but still nothing.
I started blaming the Snapdragon 616 for this when switching to LineageOS didn't work. Didn't let anyone I know buy a phone with Snapdragon's 600 line of SoCs but it just doesn't make sense. My friend's Moto G4 has the Snapdragon 617 and it works fine. Even the Moto Z Play has the Snapdragon 625 and its one of good mid rangers on the market!
Need your opinions on what the problem could be.
Also if anyone here has the Huawei Honor 5X, how has your experience been with this absolute **** excuse for a phone?
I'm on LineageOS 14.1 latest nightly and opening the dialer takes probably 1 or 2 seconds max.
It really feels like your phone has a hardware problem if wiping everything doesn't make it better.
The phone is pretty snappy in day to day use for me, not fast like a Pixel or a OP5 but still pretty damn fast.
I don't have much apps in the background either.
Consider using your warranty to see if the phone is not defective.
I have it and often switch roms. I experience lags but not as severe as yours.
EMUI is laggy, but custom roms works good with this device. Fluid enough as a daily driver. May be your hardware is getting somewhat inefficient. 5x is my first and last buy from huwaei.

Default setting of that is 1x. There should be no problems with that.
The 617 and 625 are more superior to 616. However, try to factory reset, if it's still the same, ask for a replacement immediately if you have warranty.
try to flash the stock rom again clearing all data and everything.. then flash a custom rom..

I believe clearing data is enough. No need to flash stock again.
Have you tried slim rom, aokp or other. Can give a try

Hello, Can sd card slow the honor 5x?

Probably, if it has a slow read/write speed and it's full. It won't slow it that much where it's noticable

Yes only if you are accessing files that are stored on SD card.
A lower class SD card will generally have slow write/read speeds.

Talking about lag, why would you even be on stock EMUI ROM on honor 5x? EMUI is a heavy skin for a low end SD 616 CPU.
The only way to get rid of those lags is to install a custom ROM. Period.

How about removing the sd card and test for sometimes. If it makes any difference then you got the root cause. If it doesn't then something on your firmware causing which you can test further with installing custom rom, crdroid, aosp based, slim rom, aokp etc
I am having lag in snapdragon 617!
My phone is j5 prime 32gb. It just lags whenever it gets hot, even google maps lag. After gaming for a few minutes, there would always be big framerate drop. I know that this is a throttling issue, can anyone pls help to prevent the cpu from throttling?

Hello!
Recently I have been having issues with my phone. I have already tried multiple oreo roms from "The best gaming rom" thread, but none of them worked perfectly for over a month. Every one started to lag, and randomly crash/restart without SIM PIN input (right to the lock screen) when I am not aware of it at all. I am also having issues with camera which almost always crashes, when taking pictures - could it be related to lag? ... Anyway even with custom kernels, clearing cache and many other RAM management (greenify) apps, I am without succes. I own 2/16 model, but I always have at least 300 mb free RAM. Is my phone dying? Could it be NAND storage related?
Best regards!
Try with 1gb or 1.5gb of ZRAM
Ps: do you try update firmware with fastboot?
2gb ram phones just don't cut these days. The UIs these days are becoming very heavy, and too much for 2gigs of ram. Having owned 1 myself. I know they're only good for sometime.
Hey,
I own 3GB model and its lag hell on every oreo ROM. I did little research and come to know that most oreo ROM fails to get deep sleep. I tried Greenify but its not working. Then I check RAM usage and after opening few apps it express 2 GB usage and only 300 to 500 MB free left. So may be this is reason your phone lag on every oreo as It always use up to 2.1 GB RAM (as I remember, before it was around 1.6 GB on nougat)
I've got an aging Redmi Note 3 16GB/2GB RAM that has started lagging. It's just that 2GB RAM phones can't keep up in 2018. Your best bet would be going back to official MIUI 10 or old Nitrogen 7.1.2 Nougat for the 2GB variant.
Thank you for your answers. I guess there's no good ROM for oreo (yet).
+1 for the ones said before me: 2G of RAM is nothing, that was nothing when this phone was launched, sometimes I feel 3G is still not enough for everthing but I would be crazy if I had only 2G of RAM. If you go back to the original miui of RN3, that might be optimizd for the config, but forget any hope for using oreo or pie.
I own a 2gb kenzo, staying on a good N rom with zram at 512 mb, never had lags (I'm not a gamer).
I've sometimes faced some lags in O (rare) and P (more frequent). My impression is that 2gb varian has to run N roms.
